Meridian Horizontal Aeration
The AirMax™ 360 offers a high-performance aeration system that surrounds the full circumference of the hopper cone. With no perforation, there are no screens to remove when changing seed varieties, resulting in virtually no cleaning or cross-contamination.
An ideal use for SmoothWall Hopper Bins in the seed industry, the AirMax™ 360 features a continuous air duct starting from the top of the cone and pointing down toward the center. This design forces air into the center of the grain cavity, which is necessary for even grain conditioning.
